The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (Fairyland #1)

By Catherynne M. Valente

Her father is away at war, her mother is exhausted by her job, and September is bored by the sameness of Nebraska and the teacups she has to wash day after day so, when she is invited to Fairyland by a Green Wind and a Leopard, she quickly accepts.

It turns out that Fairyland needs her, but September will need her new friends (a book-loving wyvern – not dragon! – and an almost-but-not-quite human boy named Saturday) and all her wits to vanquish the evil Marquess and restore order.

Perfect for:

Readers interested in a mash-up of The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland

Lovers of fairy tales

Those interested in a good quest.
